Monday 11/23/15 Assignments (25)

Dear Father in Heaven: I am so thrilled that You love me, and I am also thrilled that I love You. I am also happy that I am not afraid to tell anyone and everyone that I do love You and I am saved by the Grace of God through Jesus who died on the Cross. I praise You and honor You for doing that. Please, dear Lord, help me work even harder for You to get out the Word of Salvation and the Love of Jesus. Please, dear Lord, help me with another message and please, Lord, help me to get it dispatched. In Jesus' Name I pray, giving thanks for all things. Amen.

Dear brothers and sisters: What a great day, really great. How blessed are we? Each day when you get up, take a good look around you. Are we not blessed, really blessed? Let me get going on the message!

Monday: November 23, 2015: Assignments (Day Twenty-Five)

Matthew 24:4 - Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming 'I am the Christ' and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains. 9 Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but he who stands firm to the end will be saved." (NIV)

Let us go over some of the assignments for us in these Words from our Lord Jesus.

First: We are to watch out that no one deceives us. Brothers and sisters, some people are sitting in churches where the pastors are preaching things not found in the Bible and if you are in one of those churches you should question the pastor, and if they cannot tell you where that is found in the Bible, you might be being deceived so GET UP AND RUN FROM THAT CHURCH.

Second: Many will come saying they are the Christ. Maybe not all will state that "I am the Christ," yet many will, some will try and get you to bow down to them as if they were our Lord Jesus. Assignment again, "Don't be fooled!"

Third: Keep your eyes and ears open. We will hear of wars and rumors of wars, and our assignment on this, "Don't be alarmed."

Fourth: People will be starving and we will be having earthquakes. If we can't see that, then you have your eyes closed. Even in America the food lines for free food are getting longer. And earthquakes are happening not just where you would think. I live in Mechanicsburg, Pa., and I have earthquake insurance on our home. These earthquakes don't just happen on the left coast.

Fifth: This assignment comes as a warning to us. Quoting Jesus, "Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death and you will be hated by all nations because of me." And we can see that going on around the world right now, even today. Terrorists are beheading people who are real Christians.

Sixth: Our assignment if we are really and truly a Born Again Christian, and folks, if you are not "Born Again" you just ain't a Christian, PERIOD!!! ... The Word of our Lord Jesus tells us that many will turn away from God when they are confronted with such action. What will you do? If someone has a gun to your head and asks you this, "Do you love Jesus?" what are you going to say? I know what I am going to say. I am going to say what Jesus said when on the cross, and I pray that He will give me the strength to stand firm and say it. Here is what Jesus said:

Luke 23:34 - Jesus said: "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." (NIV)

Seventh: And this notice to us, and yes, it could be in the form of an assignment. Jesus said if we stand firm to the end, "We will be saved." Yes, our assignment, do not turn and run, do not leave your faith in Jesus. He loved us and still loved us, and He died for us, now the question is: Will we die for Him if needed? My answer again is YES! And Dolores said: AMEN!!! She would do the same.

Will you stand up for Jesus? Let us sing about it.
